      Fear Culture

      Anonymous employee

      Pros

      They honestly do very good work for the community and help kids. It's just the the administration doesn't understand how to lead.

      Cons

      This is absolutely the worst work environment that I have even been a part of. A complete fear culture. There was very little training, and then they would berate you when you did anything wrong. Management and HR were the worst. HR would belittle people, telling them that they were stupid or incompetent. Management would do anything to throw others under the bus. If you made any sort of compliant about the work environment you were told that you just weren't mission driven enough. Very high turnover rate.

      Worst Company I Ever Worked For.

      Youth services coordinator
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      I loved working with the kids and the faculty. I felt really comfortable working with them, and they were forthcoming and willing to work with me as well. I had long term goals and plans for the long haul, and the environment within the school was very accommodating to my vision.

      Cons

      The management was terrible. Absolutely terrible. Every time I asked for help, I never got it. Every time I proposed an idea to them, they turned it down, stating that they didn't have the money...and then I was told that I didn't do enough in terms of events! Well, when everything you ask for gets shot down, what do you expect? I learned they were soliciting funds from around the community from various charities, I was told they did not receive them, while at the same time I was approached by said charities about how I was using their funds. Be very weary of an executive director who says he's there to make money and doesn't care about social services or education. If you do happen to work for this company...if they make a promise...ASK FOR IT IN WRiTING. and save it.
